Zeenat Rehana's musical treat to kids

Under the label of Fahim Music, singer Zeenat Rehana's latest audio album “Ghori Boley Tick Tick” is now in the audio bazaar. Mutual Trust Bank limited has sponsored the album that is specially designed for children as it contains 10 educational songs, written by Zebun Nessa Jamal from her book “Jadur Pencil”.

“All the songs of the book are written in lucid lyrics with the objective to offer fun, education, motivation and to improve children's behaviour specifically to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of children. I strongly believe that these songs can be very effective to educate and empower the children who may act for the good of all and for the development of the country and the world,” said Zeenat, who has been a part of the Bangladeshi music scene for over four decades.

The lyrics of the songs like “Akash Takey Jotoi Dekhi”, “Chhoto Pakhi”, “Kuhu Kuhu Kokil Ami” and “Jonmo Jodi Hoto Moder” highlight themes like motivation to help the disabled and distressed, patriotism, language, geography, social studies, tips for a happy and healthy life, mixing colours, outer space, the life of a pearl, kite flying and many more.

Zeenat is the daughter of Zebun Nessa Jamal, an outstanding lyricist of Bangladesh who obtained the Nagendranath Gold Medal from the Calcutta University in Bengali literature. Jamal was a lyricist with a profound aesthetic sense, reflected in the romantic songs written by her. She proved that romantic songs could be written without going into obvious expressions. Her songs had magic and the ability to touch peoples' hearts.

The artiste has several other audio albums including “Sa Re Ga Ma”, “Hashi Khushi” and “Jadur Pencil” to her credit. Each album consists of 10 songs for children from the book “Jadur Pencil”. The singer has taken on the challenge of working on all the 56 songs of the book.
